I'd love some help about electron-updater-example HOT 8 CLOSED

Thank you so much! It worked! I can start properly making my app now, thanks again! =D

from electron-updater-example.

What version of electron-updater, electron-builder, and electron are you using? Also, what are you seeing?

from electron-updater-example.

Thanks for reaching out.

electron: 3.0.2
electron-updater: 3.1.2
electron-builder: 20.28.4

I'm just seeing my regular application. No pop-ups or anything else. This is how I defined my repo:

  "repository": {
		"type": "git",
		"url": "https://github.com/lieuwe-berg/timerapp.git"
  }

I see you didn't do that, so how does it recognize it on yours?

from electron-updater-example.

@lieuwe-berg Have you tried doing the steps in the README exactly? (Before adding your own code)

The latest versions I've tested with are:

• electron 1.7.9
• electron-updater 2.21.4
• electron-builder 20.8.2

By default, it detects your GitHub settings looking at .git/config I think.

If I get some time, I'll try upgrading the dependencies of this repo to see if there are problems with newer versions (and if that explains what you're seeing)

from electron-updater-example.

That would be awesome, thanks!
I'll try the read.me exactly soon. I just didn't use your code before.

from electron-updater-example.

@lieuwe-berg I've just tested with the latest versions of things (electron 3.0.2, builder 20.28.4, updater 3.1.2) and it still works on this test repo. So we can rule that out.

How do you get it to find your github?

from electron-updater-example.

@lieuwe-berg by default electron-updater looks at stuff inside the .git folder to guess where the GitHub repo is. For instance, .git/config contains details about the origin remote. But you can explicitly set your GitHub repo as described in step 2 here: https://github.com/iffy/electron-updater-example/blob/master/README.md
